Abstract

Inclusive design has evolved as a design approach and a research topic in the last three decades. Despite its evolution, there are new frontiers to consider in the context of two phenomena: global ageing populations and the digital transition of services, particularly healthcare. This state-of-science paper presents challenges to be considered when taking an intersectional perspective and its impact on the development of digital health intervention (DHI). We present evidence highlighting how health inequalities can impact digital skills, affecting the use of DHI and potentially exacerbating existing health disparities. We offer a more nuanced understanding of ageing, considering multiple levels of disadvantage and its impact on people benefiting from DHI. We speculate on the future of digital interactions powered by artificial intelligence, which can guide the future development of inclusive design. We conclude by proposing a roadmap embracing a more intersectional inclusive design with routes for human factors research, practice, and policy.

科学现状：包容性设计和数字健康干预的新领域。

在过去的三十年里，包容性设计作为一种设计方法和一个研究课题得到了发展。尽管它在不断发展，但在两种现象的背景下，有新的领域需要考虑：全球人口老龄化和服务（特别是医疗保健）的数字化转型。这篇最新的科学论文提出了在采取交叉视角及其对数字健康干预（DHI）发展的影响时需要考虑的挑战。我们提供的证据强调了卫生不平等如何影响数字技能，影响DHI的使用，并可能加剧现有的卫生差距。我们对衰老提供了更细致入微的理解，考虑了多层次的劣势及其对从DHI受益的人的影响。我们对人工智能驱动的数字交互的未来进行了推测，这可以指导包容性设计的未来发展。最后，我们提出了一个路线图，其中包含了更具交叉性的包容性设计，以及人为因素研究、实践和政策的路线。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
